In this portfolio, there is a sample of just about everything that I did this year. This year, I realised that the two things that I'm best at are any activities involving crafts such as posters and Band since it's my favourite subject. The two that I should improve on are computer assignments and homework. Since there is only approximately 6 weeks of school left, I have made a goal for myself that I will try my best to acheive. My goal is to study my notes in all my subjects and get the highest mark I can in each subject on my exams.
My Subjects
Math
Term 1 Reflection
When Term 1 began, I found math boring and quite confusing but, towards the end of the term, I started to really enjoy Math class. The first unit we focused on during the first term was rate, ratio, and proportional reasoning. This wasn’t very difficult for me but it definitely was a bit of a bore. The class I’m in first began with rate, worked our way to ratio, and finally learnt about proportional reasoning. The whole class then ended this unit with a video project where you had to create a video with rate, ratio, and proportional reasoning.

GRADE EIGHT STUDENT ASSIGNMENT- PORTFOLIO REFLECTION TASK/INTENT/CRITERIA Throughout the year I have completed assignments based on Assessment for Learning practices. The learning process has followed the three key components: Subject: Language Arts
TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment?
I had to make a definition card with a definition and example of a simile.
